A NEW GENRE; A NEW DISCUSSION GROUP

I’ve been promoting a new genre of science fiction I call “sci-fu” (science-based futuring) in which author’s intimately familiar with science extend that science into the future. The idea is to provide readers with a plausible vision of the future so they can experience that future and decide if that’s where humanity should go. It means emphasizing various logical outcomes of hard science, rather than fiction-fantasy.

And so I’ve just created a new Goodreads discussion group for readers and authors of sci-fu at https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/... and invite you to join me in what I hope will be discussions about some of the most provocative works and futures ever imagined.

I’ve begun the discussion with my sci-fu novel THE EDGE OF MADNESS by Raymond Gaynor: Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live.
